Previous price cuts at Tesla have boosted deliveries and the US electric carmaker has decided to pull the trick again with another round of price cuts.
Tesla’s Model 3 will go from 44,990 euros to 41,990 euros this Friday, to make it “more affordable in France,” the group announced in a press release this Friday.
In France, including the eco bonus, the Model 3 is even available “from 36,990 euros,” Tesla said. With this new price evolution, “our range is now more affordable in Europe”, greets the American brand, a phrase that sounds like a real slight to European manufacturers.
In front of the Renault Megane
With this new price, the Californian group is clearly positioning itself against the European generalist brands. The Mégane E-Tech of the flagship of the French automobile industry Renault now sees the price of its electric model reached by the American. In the catalog of the French manufacturer, the Mégane E-Tech is exhibited from 42,000 euros. Or 10 euros more than the Model 3.
On Volkswagen’s side, Tesla is becoming even cheaper than the German manufacturer’s ID.3 model, which sells for 42,990 euros and was once the most purchased electric car in Europe.
The Model Y under the bar of 40,000 euros
The Model Y, which Elon Musk already sees as the new car that will establish itself as the best-selling in the world, all engines combined, sees its price drop to 39,990 euros, an ecological bonus included in France.
In March 2023, it was precisely Tesla’s Model Y that sold the most in France in the 100% electric vehicle category, particularly since the previous price drop for this model made it eligible for the green bonus.
Tesla delivered a total of 422,875 vehicles in the first three months of the year, a record in company history. Elon Musk said in January that Tesla deliveries in 2023 could even reach 2 million vehicles, up from 1.3 million in 2022.
